PICTURED: APC Supporters Celebrate With PDP ‘Coffin’ In Osun State

Supporters of
the All Progressives Congress in Osun State on Wednesday [April 1] trooped out
to celebrate the victory of the party’s candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd) in Saturday’s poll. Some of the APC supporters were sighted at
Gbogan/Osogbo Road carrying a casket draped in Peoples Democratic Party’s
colour and logo.

The supporters,
accompanied by trumpeters, danced through Odi Olowo Street and some other
streets in the Osun State capital, rendering victory songs and mocking the PDP,
whose candidate, President Goodluck Jonatha, lost to Buhari.

An APC member
of the House of Representatives from Osogbo/Olorunda/ Irepodun/Orolu Federal
Constituency, Mr. Lasun Yusuf, described the action of his party’s supporters
as abominable. Yusuf, who is the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Water
Resources, said the supporters’ mode of celebration was not acceptable to the
party.

“That is over
zealousness on the part of people you cannot control. It is bad and should be
not be encouraged by anybody. It is abominable but you should know that these
are the people you cannot control,” he said. Yusuf lamented the defeat of two
members of the House of Representatives from the state by the PDP, saying it
would affect the joint projects being undertaken by all the National Assembly
members from the state.
